Yes it could happen, but drastic step for Trey to quit playing and leave 100 million on the table.
No, I am just pointing out you're wrong on this because that's absolutely not how that works when it's a high value trade and the player in question is in a holdout/holdin for contract reasons.
The team trading for him is going to want to know if they can get a deal done with Trey before they commit resources to trading for him. That requires his input before a deal is finalized. No team is going to give a 1st and a young defensive starter and not even know if the player they're trading for wants to play for them or is willing to negotiate an extension with them.
Khalil Mack was traded to Chicago on Sept 1st, he then also signed a contract extension with Chicago on Sept 1st. They didn't just magically negotiate the deal in an hour. They had an agreement worked out with Mack/Mack's agent before they finalized the trade.
Davante Adams was traded to Oakland on March 17th, he then also signed a contract extension with Oakland on March 17th.
